    Just bought the Onkyo AV Receiver (HT-R670) and was wondering if anyone knows which audio setting is the best with the PS3 since both support 2 channel linear PCM, multi channel PCM and Bitstream. Also should I use the PS3 or reciever to do the decoding?

    It's a 7.1 receiver but plan on using the extra channel to Bi-amp the front 2 speakers since I'm hooking 2 CV 15" 3 way speakers 5" mids and 2" tweeters in an acoustic suspension as my front right and left. Will have a powered 10" sub, dual 4" mids and 1" tweeter center channel and dual 3 1/2" mids with 1" tweeter rears.

    Just got my 65" mitsubishi tv and this will be my first component system (everything else has been HTIB crap) so any advice on settings or speaker configuration would be greatly appreciated. I plan to upgrade to Klipsch speakers as budget allows but with the recent tv, receiver and couch purchases that may be some time. Thanks in advance for all your help

    yes, the reciever supports DTS HD 6 channel but I thought only the new PS3 slims support Bitstream. I have a launch 20GB and a 2nd gen 80GB PS3, so as I understood it I'm not able to use DTS HD. Thanks for taking the time to help a noob out.
